Giving children a sporting chance
We believe that all children should be entitled to equal opportunity, that every child has talent to a greater or lesser extent, and that it is how the game is played, rather than the outcome of the contest, that is important.
Object
The object of the Sport School is to establish a facility which supports and encourages local schools and their boys and girls in their sporting activities, irrespective of their colour or background, their social or financial standing or the opportunities they enjoy;
- By means of coaching programmes
- By providing Home and Away match opportunities which afford healthy competition
- By coordinating a series of Holiday Sports Festivals which provide an opportunity for local children to compete with highly rated, established sporting schools from all over the country and abroad
- By extending its facilities, equipment and expertise to local schools
Above all, the School believes that all children should be entitled to equal opportunity, that every child has talent to a greater or lesser extent and that what is important is how the game is played, rather than the outcome of the contest.
